Braves At A Glance
Few teams can match the “Showtime” vibe around St. John Bosco. Coach Matt Dunn’s squad, a perennial CIF state-title contender, will suit up with two likely McDonald’s All-Americans in 6-8 SR Christian Collins (13.3 ppg, 9.7 rpg) and Oregon pledge 6-9 SR Tajh Ariza (27 ppg, 14 rpg, 5 apg at Los Angeles Westchester), the son of 18-year NBA star and two-time City of Palms champion Trevor Ariza. A less-heralded Brave, guard 6-0 SR Gavin Dean-Moss (3.8 ppg, 2.4 rpg) should add another steady hand. … St. John Bosco was the consolation champion (3-1) in its only previous City of Palms appearance in 2013.
